Led by Xu Que, the soldiers of Snow City were in high spirits!
Finally, the Ice Troops had been completely defeated!
Most of the soldiers of the Ice Troops had been killed and their bodies were buried in the snow. Only around ten people had managed to run away and make their way to the mountain.
Amongst those ten was the leader of the Ice Troops. Earlier, he had said that he would kill anyone who dared to run away. How absurd he had turned out to be…
In fact, he had totally freaked out upon seeing the marching soldiers, and especially when he realized that Xu Que's True Core Strength had not yet been used up. Then he had instantly spurred his horse forward and run away.
Initially, Xu Que had intended to catch up with him and kill him, but Situ Hai Tang had stopped him. "Let him go," she had said. "There is the restrictive enchantment in the mountain and many other soldiers of the Ice Troops are there as well. We must prepare well before we head there!"
"I think there is no need to wait until we are totally prepared. I can kill them all by myself." Xu Que laughed.
"Hero Zhuge, listen, it is very dangerous to go to the Snow Mountain without full preparation. The Water Empress is now imprisoned at the top of that mountain. What if you are also imprisoned? Then the Water Nation would never be rescued!" Situ Hai Tang said.
Hearing this, Xu Que was shocked.
The Water Empress is imprisoned in the Snow Mountain? How can it be possible? She is so powerful…
Xu Que frowned. Throughout the years, he had always thought that the Water Empress was someone very tough. However, judging from her skills, the Water Empress was only at Level Seven of the Infant Transformation Stage. Nevertheless, Xu Que felt that her real abilities were more better than that.
"Hero Zhuge, thank you so much for your help so far. Please leave the rest to the soldiers. Let's go back to the city first and talk about how we can rescue the Water Empress." Situ Hai Tang said.
Xu Que glanced at the magnificent Snow Mountain, and nodded.
I'd better figure out what on earth had happened.
After all, even the powerful Water Empress had been imprisoned by the restrictive enchantment. Xu Que realized that he himself would need to be more careful.
What if I myself am imprisoned? If that happens, it will definitely cost me lots of Acting Tough Points to get out.
"Hero, this way please!" Situ Hai Tang said. She did not wait for Xu Que and began walking directly to the Snow City.
This woman is really something… and she is very stylish as well! Normally, if I am the guest, she should walk behind me!
After they walked through the city gates, they found that the whole city had been buried in snow. There were many injured soldiers leaning against the walls and curled up in corners. They had not yet received medical treatment, and were instead trying to heal their wounds by reading some magical runes.
The residents of the city all came out to help these soldiers and put bandages on their wounds.
As soon as Xu Que and Situ Hai Tang walked into the city, they became the subject of great admiration from the citizenry.
After all, without Xu Que, the whole of Snow City would have been destroyed. In the citizens' eyes, he was the hero!
"Thank you for your help!" a trembling old soldier said as he stood up and reached out his hand to Xu Que.
"Hero! Thank you!"
"I will always remember what you have done for us!"
All the injured soldiers and citizens were showing their gratitude to Xu Que. Hearing this, Xu Que waved his hands and said, "Do not be like this. Everyone, sit down and please have a rest. Remember you are all injured. I have got some medicine here with me, feel free to take it if you need."
Over the year, Xu Que had killed many people and received many storage rings. The rings contained many Spirit Stones as well as a huge number of medicines.
Besides, he had previously looted the treasure-house in the Fire Country, the Imperial Tombs as well as the secret room in the Second Prince's house.
Now he himself resembled a walking treasure trove, as rich as a king. For him, saving a whole city's citizens would not be a big deal.
However, before he took out the medicines, Situ Hai Tang waved her hand and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I do not think it will be much help. There are many injured soldiers here in this city and you cannot save them all."
Clearly, she did not want Xu Que to make any more sacrifices, since she was sure that he would not have enough supplies to save all the injured soldiers. He could cause a conflict amongst the soldiers if he truly did not have enough.
At the same time, some soldiers also spoke. "Hai Tang is right, there is no need for you to sacrifice anything for us anymore. In a few months, we will recover!"
"You are really a good person!"
"You have helped us defeat the enemy, how can it be possible for us to ask you for medicine on top of that?"
"Yes, we could not possibly do that!"
Hearing this, Xu Que smiled. "It's fine. I have got plenty, you can use as much as you want."
Still, Situ Hai Tang felt that Xu Que was just boasting. She was worried that soldiers who did not receive medicine would feel as if they had been treated unfairly.
"Hero Zhuge, I think you should think carefully about this…"
"Don't be like this. After all, you are all citizens of the Water Empress, which means that you are all my citizens as well. I cannot possibly see you guys suffer!" Xu Que said with great determination, summoning his system storage.
Knowing Xu Que would insist on helping the soldiers, Situ Hai Tang gave in, and nodded.
"We are a big family, so we have to help each other!" Xu Que smiled and patted Situ Hai Tang's shoulder gently.
Situ Hai Tang stared at Xu Que, feeling a bit crossed. Although she was a general, she was also a woman, and she believed that women should keep their distance from men. He had irritated her slightly by touching her.
Before she could show her discontent to Xu Que, he had already turned around to speak to the others. "Please, create an open space so I can lay down the medicine!"
Create an open space?
Everyone was stunned. Why do we need to create an open space, we just need a few bottles of medicine?
Everyone backed away and made some space.
"No, this is too small, make it bigger!" Xu Que said again.
Everyone did as they were told.
"Bigger!"
Everyone moved back again.
"Still not big enough! A bit bigger will do! Believe me, just a bit bigger, then it will be fine! I give you my word."
Soon, in front of everyone was an open space of around ten square meters.
Even Situ Hai Tang was stunned by this and had no idea why they had been asked to make such a big space.
"Good! This will do!" Xu Que nodded happily. Then he waved his hand and read out the names of the medicines inside the system storage.
Bang!
A ray of bright light radiated from Xu Que's hand, hitting the ground.
In the blink of an eye, an immense pile of medicine appeared in the open space.
All the medicines were two or three star in value, and most of them would be able to help the injured heal their wounds and reclaim their strength.
…
Seeing this, everyone was shocked and speechless.
